LIFESTYLE // God, I miss the Nineties! *

As I'm fast approaching 30 next year, I can't help but be reminded that it'll also mean the 90s began 30 years ago... Like pardon? Excuse me? What no!

It definitely doesn't feel like it was that long since I was a child and being born at the start of the decade, means I have a lot of memories from the 90s...maybe not the first few years but I definitely remember a lot... Good and bad!

So I thought I'd give you my 3 top things I miss from the 90s, and relive the nostalgia with some epicly embarrassing photos from my childhood!

Blogging from the start haha!

1. Music, Walkmans and tapes!

Ah man, I remember being around 8, listening to the radio with my finger ready to press record the moment my favourite songs came onto the chart show! And then grooving along to them in my Walkman pretending I was on stage with the biggest girl groups and boy bands of the day.

Everything is so instant these days, you want music... There's so many options to access it but I will always treasure the memories of my mixtapes and my first ever CD! My music taste has changed a lot as I've gotta older but there will also be a big space in my heart for the likes of Backstreet Boys, Boyzone, Aqua and the Spice Girls!

Which is why I was so grateful to be gifted tickets to Wannabe, a Spice girls tribute show at the Albany theatre in Coventry on March 16th...I'm ready to throw my cares away and be young at heart again! If you are from Coventry or nearby, definitely check out more about the show and get yourself a ticket here!

2. Saturday morning TV.

Saturdays as a kid were the best! No school to get ready for, but still you'd be up at the crack of dawn ready for your Saturday tv fix. Eating your breakfast in your pj's whilst watching the classics, nothing beats it!

My favourites were always Mona the Vampire, Hey Arthur, Rugrats and Recess. But there was so many different ones so you were never bored! And as I got a bit older, Charmed, Hercules and Xena:Warrior Princess became part of the routine... Id do anything to go back to those days!

3. The Fashion.

Oh my our parents really did dress us in some creative ways didn't they! Primary colours, windbreakers, velvet dresses, jelly shoes! Kids have it too good these days with their choice of clothes, but trust me when I have kids I am hunting down classic 90s baby clothes and making sure my kids have some beautiful outfits to look back on!

And the hairstyles! The bobbles that used to hurt if they accidently hit your head, scrunchies so big you actually couldn't see your hair underneath them and my mums favourite from the photos, the pineapple....all your hair pulled to the top of your head, smack back in the middle and tried up in a bobble so it looked just like the top of a pineapple... Thanks mum haha.

So that's my top 3 things from the 90s, there's honestly so many more I could have written a book!

Let me know your top 3 favourite things from the 90s or the decade you grew up in below :) and definitely go and check out the Albany theatre website here for more about Wannabe and other amazing shows they have coming up!

OMG I could relate to all of these and I loved it! :D I remember sitting there when the charts were on on a Sunday waiting to press record on the tape player. :P You're right when it comes to how it is now. If you want music you can get it in mere moments by saying, "Hey Siri/Google/Alexa? Play this by this" and they'll do it. Of course I love the ease these days of being able to do that, but I miss the longing of wanting to hear your favourite song on the radio. :P

Every Saturday I would wake up at 9am ready to watch SM:TV and catch up with Pokemon and other shows. :D

My mom always dressed me in leggings with matching sweaters. I now understand why I wear loads of these two in this day and ages! Thanks mother. :P

Coming back to blogging after a such a unexpectedly long break, felt quite frightening if I'm completely honest.

Is anyone gonna still be following? Even if they are, are they gonna be interested in the blog anymore? Have I made it too hard to find changing the name and domain?

I must have said 'i'll be back to blogging soon' so many times I've lost count! What makes this time different from all the other times I've said it?

One thing that I can definitely say is different, is my attitude to the bad days. The reason my break kept getting extended and extended was because everytime I had a 'off day' or my mental health was bad, I would struggle to write a post even if I had ones planned or I'd just refuse to write at all till I felt better, and then when I did feel better I'd struggle to get my motivation back up because I felt guilty for not posting. So it became a bit of an endless cycle.

FarGo village is probably one of my favourite
places in Coventry. The mixture of its urban setting, the stunning street art
and unique local businesses…it's the perfect place if you want something
different from the normal high street shops and cafes.

Fargo also have fun and unique events on a
regular basis, such as food festivals, vintage fairs and Makers Markets.

Recently I went to the Autumn Maker's
Market on behalf of Coventry Bloggers,which is a seasonal market that
gives local creatives and small businesses an opportunity to showcase what they
do and sell their products. This was my first time visiting the market and I
will definitely be going back to the next one!

When I arrived, I met up with Lucy who is FarGo’s
event manager who was really lovely and welcoming and made me feel at ease
which was so nice considering this was the first time I'd ever done something
like this without other Bloggers around! She told me about the makers market
and their passion for suppo…

So the other week, I went to another amazing Coventry Bloggers Event, arranged by the lovely Emily of Drained Beauty, this time at the Body Shop in Coventry City Centre.
I'll admit before I went to this event, my knowledge on the Body Shop was limited. I used to always get a gift set from there from an auntie every Christmas and I've followed them on Social Media for awhile now, but it's been awhile since I've tried anything by them. I had misconceptions that they were expensive and out of my price range, but how wrong I was.
Now onto the event itself!

Most of us met outside before the event, and I have to give a shout out to these girls. Some of them I've met quite a few times already and some I only first met at the event...but they are all amazing, friendly and encouraging people! They have restored my faith in the blogging community, and that's helping me to grow in confidence as a blogger.
When we entered the Body Shop, we were greeted by two lovely st…
